Seattle Council rejects multi-purpose arena

Seattle Councilors voting against a new arena said “that financial arguments had swayed them. They said that giving over city resources for the project …. made the arena terms questionable” [N.Y. Times, May 7, 2016]

“Reasonable people may disagree with their vote, but these council members were fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to Seattle residents and acting in good faith”. [Seattle Times, Letters to the Editor, May 5, 2016]
